### 4/5 — Best tuner ever, please fix crashing

*2015-11-02*

Since updated to iOS9 the app is crashing.  So I installed it on another iPhone 6+ with iOS8.3 on it knowing that it used to work on that platform. Unfortunately the latest version is crashing on the old OS as well. 
This is a great app, and as a guitarist I miss it.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2010-08-31*

Great app. Works great. Only problem is the price.

### 4/5 — Very good!!

*2010-08-24*

I'm learning to play guitar n most of the time relying on friends to tune it... After this app I can do it!! :)

### 4/5 — Ttt

*2010-07-12*

Stopped working when updated to os4 hope they will fix soon before that it worked perfect

### 4/5 — Does Not Work Well With 1st Model iPhone

*2009-04-23*

Don't get this program for the 1st model iPhone. The strobe section blinks on and off in about 1/2 second intervals.

I tried contacting tech support, but they didn't provide much help.  I tried reinstalling the program, but it didn't resolve the problem. However, it did work correctly with my son's newest model iPhone 3G.

I recommend not getting this program until they resolve this blinking problem


I downloaded the update that suppose to fix the problem, and it now works properly; the strobe section doesn't blink anymore.  Thanks for correcting the problem Hotpaw.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2008-12-09*

Well worth the money!  As good as my £20 tuner, if not better.I don't tend to take my tuner with me when out and about, so to have a tuner of this quality built into my iPhone is just brilliant.

### 4/5 — Gut gemachtes Programm

*2008-11-22*

Macht was es soll, ist nicht zu teuer und einfach zu bedienen!

### 5/5 — Great app for anyone used to a strobe tuner

*2008-11-18*

This is a very accurate tuner.  I don’t really use the course tuner part as much as the strobe at the top.  I own a Peterson Strobe tuner and have checked the accuracy of this application against my Peterson and was very impressed.  It does have problems in high noise areas, but all tuners do.  I manually select the string if it’s having problems.  BTW Peterson Strobe $135 so $5 is well worth it.

### 1/5 — Erratic

*2008-10-05*

Showed my A string as extremely out of tune when in fact it was tuned perfectly to the high E string. Unreliable at best. Useless to many. It seems to just about give me correct pitch on E and I tune by ear from there. Cannot recommend I'm afraid.

### 3/5 — Brauchbar

*2008-09-29*

Wenn keine Stimmgabel zur Hand ist, kann man die Saiten ganz gut hiermit "vorstimmen". Die Anzeige ist gelungen, und man braucht während des Stimmens das iPhone nicht zu berühren ... außer um es wieder anzuschalten, denn das Programm verhindert das automatische Abschalten nicht. 

Wunder sollte man aber (von keiner der Tuner im Store) erwarten. Es geht nichts über das Stimmen nach Gehör. Schade ist, dass die erzeugten Töne ziemlich "stumpf" und nicht nach Gitarre klingen.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-07-17*

Skip this one.

### 1/5 — Can only use standard tuning

*2015-12-08*

Can't use the other tunings other than Standard. How can I fix this? It stopped working after I got the latest version.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 6 ios9.1

*2015-10-26*

I used to love this app but it no longer works on iPhone 6 iOS 9.1.

### 1/5 — Used to love this app, but alas

*2013-11-16*

Used to be a great little app, but now crashing continually and completely unusable.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2013-09-12*

I couldn't get it to work. Maybe you can?

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2010-10-24*

On iOS4, app opens for about a second then crashes

### 1/5 — Mr

*2010-10-18*

This app doesn't work. At all. I purchased this app for the iPhone 4. At first it worked fine, it was very easy to use, had all the features you'd want, and recognised pitch very well. However all of a sudden it stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. I reported the problem and its been a couple of weeks passed without a new update or anything to fix it.
Very annoyed as this app ain't cheap!!

### 1/5 — Crashes!!!

*2010-10-13*

$5 out the window. Crashes upon launch. Uninstalled and redownloaded four times. Same thing. Rebooted my iphone4 to be sure it wasn't my phone. Just not ready for prime time yet.

### 1/5 — Don't waste your money

*2010-09-03*

Worked great for years until the recent ios4 update. Now it doesn't work at all for the 3G. It's been months with no fix, obviously the developers are either lazy or simply don't care. It's a shame because it was a really nice until they decided to break it...

### 1/5 — Sad day

*2009-06-25*

Not good. I've only had it a little while and I already want my money back. Just do yourself a favor and get a real tuner.

### 5/5 — Best purchase I have made

*2012-10-03*

I bought this while drunk in a hostel in Taiwan. Best decision I have made while intoxicated. This app works great even though it is a bit pricey. Really great tuner with a simple interface.

### 5/5 — Works fine now

*2012-10-02*

I've been using this for going on 3 years now under iOS 5 and now 6. I've not had a problem with it crashing and when I'm through my git is in good tuning.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2011-02-27*

This is just really awesome, I use this more than my actual tuner now so thankyou for making this awesome app
I would really like a setting for different instruments, for instance, ukelele or mandolin?

### 5/5 — Great

*2010-05-10*

Easy to use and works great.

### 5/5 — Excellent Tuner

*2009-05-17*

Works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Best little tuner ever.

*2009-04-08*

You will pay over 80 dollars in astore for a tuner this good. Produces remarkable results. Good to take to the guitar store when testing the tones of new guitars as well. It is my favorite and most used application.

### 5/5 — guitar tuner

*2009-04-06*

...fantastic tuner. accurate and easy to use ! great value !

### 5/5 — Great App

*2009-03-03*

I was cleaning up my apartment today, when I all of a sudden had an itch to play my guitar which had been lying in a corner for about a year. I cleaned it and re-strung it, and then realized I had no tuner. (The last tuner I had was a windows app called guitar tuner, on a computer I hadn't booted in years). So, I decided to download an iPhone tuner app. I first downloaded another tuner app before getting this one, and couldn't figure how the heck to use it. Then, I got this one, and within about a minute, I had my guitar perfectly tuned. The interface is very simple and intuitive, and there are alternate guitar tunings available, although, I probably won't be using those any time soon. The only comment I have to the developer is that they should make the app force the iPhone into an always on state, as currently, the iPhone screen dims every 20 seconds, requiring a tap on the screen to un-dim. Otherwise, a great app well worth a few bucks. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Does the job perfectly

*2009-01-22*

... and elegantly too. I recommend it without hesitation.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2008-12-24*

Got me out of a hole. Downloaded it and tuned up in two minutes.
